In these very uncertain times it is easy to feel powerless and paralyzed by fear. Today I am looking to the skies and asking for guidance and strength and most importantly I am saying a prayer of gratitude.

I am thankful for life. I am grateful because I perspire, bleed, cry and breathe faith and hope! I am positive, optimistic and more hopeful than ever.

You have a choice. Choose to be grateful. Choose to be kind. Choose to be human! Remember the less fortunate. Remember the weaker. Remember the elderly.

Help and give thanks!

Thank you for coming here and gracing me with your always so supportive words. You make me stronger.

I love the way Steve Maraboli thinks and writes. He is a motivational speaker and author. Today I came across this awesome passage.
